Nathalie Sarraute was a French author of Russian origin, born in 1900 in Russia and passed away in Paris in 1999. She was a key figure of the Nouveau Roman movement. In her autobiographical work "Enfance", Sarraute bravely reveals her intimate memories and traumas. The novel has a unique structure, with chapters focusing on different houses and moments in her life. Sarraute's introspective dialogue in the novel follows the conventions of the autobiographical pact, with elements of interior monologue and an incipit. Bruno Vercier notes the presence of isomorphisms between the novel and Sarraute's own childhood. The narrative voice is obviously that of the author herself.
